Slim Chickens - Humble
Have y'all heard of this new place - Slim Chickens - that is being built over by Cavenders on 1960? I know..I know.."Another chicken place?!" I was just happy it wasn't another one of the same franchises that keep repeatedly popping up around here.
I gave their page/menu/etc.. a tour and everything looked great. I didn't want to wait for the new location to open to get a taste of what they had to offer, so I took a drive over to Spring this weekend and gave Slim Chickens a try.
I ordered us a little bit of everything: a 3&3 Plate, Smoked Cheddar Wrap, Chicken & Waffles, and dessert.
Notes:
- Tenders were REALLY good..Fried just right!! I think they could use a little more seasoning, but that's just me. They do offer them grilled if that's your thing.
- Sweet tea is perfect! I know it's just a drink, but I'm picky about my tea. They offer several different varieties of tea as well as Coke products.
- Chicken & Waffles dish was delicious. My wife was a BIG fan. I normally don't eat chicken & waffles together, but "When in Rome.." Also, bonus points for the waffles being shaped like Texas.
- Wrap was on point! My daughter let me try hers and I almost didn't give it back.
- Signature sauce (Slim Sauce) is VERY good. It's like a creamy BBQ sauce. The Cayenne Ranch was also tasty, but I wanted more cayenne in it.
- Wings were average. I ordered mine naked. They don't bread them, which is the way I like it.
- Fries were a tad over salted, but cooked correctly. Not a deal breaker...It happens.
- Dessert was strawberries, cheesecake bites, pie crust, whipped cream and nuts in a glass mason jar........... Y U M ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! They also have a brownie version, and will rotate others in as the seasons change.
- Prices are in the menu below.
All in all, I'm extremely happy with it and look forward to the Humble location opening.
According to Slim Chickens COO Sam Rothschild, Halloween (10/31/16) is the tentative date for the Humble store to open. It will be the 3rd one in the Houston area (Katy, Spring).
